are must reads in your opinion. Can't ride so I thought I'd do some reading on the subject. Thanks.
I read this one and really liked it.anthony said:sport riding techniques by nick ienatsch
If you do nothing else to better your riding skills, real the first book. It's really a guide, it's not meant to be read in full, and put down. Read a chapter, think about it, go out and ride, take some notes, read another chapter, repeat. You will find your skills multiply. I taught myself to ride with that book, as well as riding Sundays with an ex-racer and other fast guys.speedwasinvolved said:Thx. I finally used the barnes and noble gift cert from christmas. Got Twist of the Wrist I and II coming to the house for under $18, used of course. Couldn't find a deal on the Pridmore book, I'll check it out after these.

One of his books/videos was like watching a film school drop-out movie!
Dizzy hand held video made me want to puke in my full face.
I met the guy at one of his schools with my ex.
Reminded me of a surfer dude with a motorcycle instead of a board.
He has definately capitalized on a market, NO question there!
Some of the attendees at his school had also taken Freddie Spencers course and said there was NO comparison!
I know there will be those who disagree but this is my perception from the time i spent around him which was only one weekend.
My experience was that I'd been reading the books for several years, and the school strongly reinforced all that, as well as teaching me techniques for the the specific track @ Loudon.THE SRADIATOR said:I hate to bash KC and his sunshine boys but i'm less enthralled with old Keith!

I agree, the vid is very cheesy, and if they're still using the one I own, it's filmed in the 80's, the clothing, bikes and idioms are dated. The quality? Well, it def. doesn't view like a Rambo part 14 movie. The content on the other hand, is excellent, it reinforces the first book really well, and as a teacher, that's what I was looking at.. All perspectives are good though!THE SRADIATOR said:After reading some of his books and seeing the cheesey video,,,
